Overview

This tour is different because I live it with real passion. My work is my greatest joy and makes me happy when my clients end up happy and satisfied. I understand the importance of your holiday, so I strive to make it a warm, joyful and unhurried experience, as if we were exploring City centre with a good friend.
We walk at a comfortable pace, enjoying every corner with smiles, funny anecdotes and good energy. It’s not one of those scripted tours you see in Los Angeles: I prefer to tell you the essentials of each place along with interesting facts that are really worthwhile, without overwhelming you with information. I keep discovering new details of the city every day and love to share them with you while feeling the authentic vibe of LA.
In my tours we also talk about American culture from the point of view of a local who is also an emigrant. There are no taboo subjects.
A complete walk, relaxed and very cool!

Activity itinerary

Bradbury Building

  • 10m
We start at the iconic Bradbury Building (1893), one of the oldest and most beautiful buildings in City centre Los Angeles. Its stunning atrium with natural light, wrought iron staircases and original tiles is a gem that has appeared in films like Blade Runner and 500 Days of Summer.

City Hall

  • 20m
We passed the iconic City Hall (1928), the Art Deco City Hall of Los Angeles. We will climb to the free 27th floor viewpoint for 360° panoramic views of City centre and the mountains. (Viewpoint available weekdays only)

Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels

  • 15m
We arrive at the modern Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels (2002), a masterpiece of contemporary architecture with huge windows and a quiet garden. Fun fact: its bells were made in Spain and the design avoids any reference to earthquakes.

The Music Center (Pass by)

We visited the Music Centre, the main performing arts centre in City centre Los Angeles. This cultural complex is the artistic heart of the city and hosts important theatre and concert venues.

Department of Water and Power Building

  • 10m
We passed the iconic Department of Water and Power (DWP) building, an imposing modernist structure built in 1965. Its geometric and powerful design is one of the most representative examples of modern architecture in Los Angeles. Special for photos and videos.

Walt Disney Concert Hall

  • 10m
We admire Frank Gehry’s revolutionary Walt Disney Concert Hall, with its stainless steel facade that shines like a sculpture. Fun fact: the metal panels were polished by hand to avoid reflections that would distract drivers.

The Broad

  • 20m
We arrive at the famous The Broad Museum, one of the world’s leading contemporary art museums with its concrete “veil”. Fun fact: general admission is free, but the works of Jeff Koons, Yayoi Kusama and Warhol are unmissable.

Angels Flight Railway

  • 10m
  • Admission ticket included
We climbed Bunker Hill and took the historic Angels Flight Funicular, the oldest in Los Angeles (1901). Fun fact: it was dubbed “the shortest railway in the world” and appears in films such as La La Land.

Grand Central Market

  • 30m
We arrive at the vibrant Grand Central Market (1917), LA’s oldest food market. Here you can try tacos, juices or local coffee. Fun fact: it has been open without interruption for more than 100 years. We recharge to continue walking on Broadway.

Million Dollar Theater (Pass by)

We passed the Million Dollar Theatre (1918), one of the most iconic historic theatres in City centre Los Angeles. It was the first theatre in the world to cost more than $1 million and stands out for its facade and vestibule decorated in Spanish Renaissance style.

The Last Bookstore

  • 20m
We visited The Last Bookshop, California’s largest independent bookshop with its famous book tunnel and art installations. Fun fact: it occupies an old bank from 1920 and has more than 300,000 books.

Pershing Square (Pass by)

We passed Pershing Square, Downtown’s historic park with palm trees and colourful murals. Fun fact: its name honours General Pershing and has been the scene of events and protests since 1866.

The Jewelry District (Pass by)

We walk through the authentic Jewellery District, full of wholesale jewellery stores and Art Deco buildings. Fun fact: it is one of the largest jewellery centers in the United States and offers a very different local atmosphere than the rest of the tour.

Apple Tower Theatre

  • 10m
We ended up at the Apple Tower Theatre (802 S Broadway), a beautifully restored 1927 theatre that today is Apple’s flagship store. Fun fact: the contrast between the golden glamour of the 1920s and current technology is spectacular.
